If Sal posted a memo from some office saying that E3 and below would no longer be allowed to make faces at the monkeys at the zoo on uniformed libo visits, I'd believe it. Heck, I'd believe there is an office in the Department of the Navy that will someday issue a sticker of a minority sailor to cover up the mermaid on my shellback card. This stuff is so far out there, I think almost the entire readership here just numbly shakes it's collective head. What else can you say? <br /> <br />As Sal mentioned, at least it pings on the right hulls. When I read about my own words and actions in another person's report, they didn't seem very logical either (but this is not a libo thread =-X ). Maybe DivBuls have souls too?

Once of the reasons I keep it going in spite of the fact I don't care too much for the subject every week. It gets a lot of traffic from the "right" places, and the emails I get in response - from some very interesting places - keep it going as a place where some things can be dragged out from under the rock and in to the sunshine for a bit for all to look at it. Though it may not seem like it - we are making progress towards a more equal and just meritocracy. We just need to keep putting out there what the Diversity Bullies are doing. It can't stand fresh air and light - it can only exist in darkness and silence. That is why I get the hate mail I get -they cannot defend their racialist policies in open debate.<br /><br />Have hope!cdrsalamandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-29049785336200473782011-12-15T14:27:59.818-05:002011-12-15T14:27:59.818-05:00The mere fact that only a handful of folks off on ...The mere fact that only a handful of folks off on a porch are chatting about this, and that the media, and the Navy's [alleged] leadership is totally oblivious to the real impact of the diversity industry tells us how serious the problem is.<br /><br />We have met the zampolits, and the zampolits have won...so far.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-21272448714640197312011-12-15T12:30:32.604-05:002011-12-15T12:30:32.604-05:00The cost for a college education is ridiculous as ...The cost for a college education is ridiculous as a result of the distorted market place - where a college education is blindly accepted as the coin of the realm for future job prospects. Where expected future earnings are believed to exceed the mortgage size cost of education. Where an entire industry and government subsidize these myths by providing "low-cost" loans.<br /><br />Once the cost is sufficiently high, then the university intelligentsia are free to implement whatever program floats their boat. Voila - the diversity cadre.<br /><br />So to fix this problem, you have to start at the beginning. Puncture the myth of the value of "any" college education. Reduce the ease of funding said degrees. Eliminate the tax free status of higher education. Once the money even remotely begins to dry up, then the diversity folks can make their argument for continued funding. As long as we financially encourage these idiots, they will continue to be enriched and advance their idiotic quests.Cdr Ashorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-7826243362923521402011-12-15T10:15:17.804-05:002011-12-15T10:15:17.804-05:00The old Soviet Army political officers served a mo...The old Soviet Army political officers served a more useful purpose than the DivBuls.

When I asked if they counted as two bodies on the Ship's Manning Document or on the Watch, Quarter & Station Bill (WQSB), I was told to shut up and get back to work. Then I was told that we would get triple credit for minorities that could pass the Nuclear Power Screening Test. Again, I asked if the reactor cared who was monitoring all the gauges and power meeters. "Shut up" Finally, I found out we would literally meet our monthly quota (4) if we could find a minority, Nuke, BOOST applicant (I never found one). The Officer Programs Officer (OPO) would not even let me into his office. Things have not changed much.Acquisition Specialistnoreply@blogger.com
